LOTI Open Forum: Analogue to Digital Switchover

#LOTIhelps London boroughs work together, bringing the best of digital, technology and data to improve public services for Londoners.

London Office of Technology and Innovation (LOTI)

A session for Assistive Technology Leads from London boroughs  to explore what impact the digital switchover will have on telecare provision

<h3>About LOTI</h3>The London Office of Technology and Innovation (LOTI) was established in July 2019 to help boroughs collaborate on digital, data and innovation projects to improve public services for Londoners. Our current membership consists of 18 London boroughs, the Greater London Authority and London Councils. For more information about our work, visit: <a href="https://loti.london/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.loti.london</a><h3>Context</h3>LOTI has been working with boroughs for over a year to help them make more effective use of assistive technology (AT). Read more about the project to date, <a href="https://loti.london/projects/assistive-technology/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>. Borough AT Leads have reported being aware of the upcoming analogue-to-digital switchover affecting the use of ATs in telecare, and want to feel more informed about its impact and how they need to prepare. In particular, they are keen to ensure vulnerable residents who rely on ATs end up being better rather than worse off as a result of the change.<h3>The audience </h3>This session is primarily intended for Assistive Technology Leads from London boroughs who have some background understanding of the key issues surrounding the switchover and telecare provision and wish to explore the impact this will have in practice.<h3>What do we hope to cover in this session?</h3>Boroughs are keen to understand more about who’s involved in the switchover and what key considerations they need to be aware of. We will hear from Huw Saunders (Ofcom Director, Network Infrastructure and Resilience), John Livermore (Openreach ALL IP Industry Engagement Manager), and David Christie (Virgin Media Senior Regulatory Specialist). Each speaker will share details of their organisation’s role in the switchover, and their perspectives on what boroughs need to know and do. <h3>Agenda</h3>10:00Join call10:05Introduction / BackgroundGenta Hajri (LOTI Programme Manager)10:10Overview of Ofcom’s role in and views on the switchover &amp; advice for boroughs.Huw Saunders (Ofcom Director, Network Infrastructure and Resilience)10:20Q&amp;AGenta Hajri (LOTI Programme Manager)10:25Overview of Openreach’s role in and views on the switchover &amp; advice for boroughs.John Livermore (Openreach ALL IP Industry Engagement Manager)10:35Q&amp;AGenta Hajri (LOTI Programme Manager)10:40Overview of Virgin Media’s role in and views on the switchover &amp; advice for boroughs.David Christie (Virgin Media Senior Regulatory Specialist)10:50Q&amp;AGenta Hajri (LOTI Programme Manager)10:55Any other questionsGenta Hajri (LOTI Programme Manager)11:00CloseGenta Hajri (LOTI Programme Manager)Please note: this event will take place on Microsoft Teams.
